The Longest Journey

What happens when a man leaves everything behind to pursue a dream—only to find it nearly destroys him?

Godwin was a respected banker in Lagos, Nigeria, living a stable life while quietly holding onto a lifelong dream: to move to America. When he finally takes the leap, he walks into a storm he never anticipated. From visa denials and missed flights to betrayals, police interrogations, and spiritual burnout, his path quickly spirals into a relentless series of setbacks that threaten to break him.

The Longest Journey is a raw, true-to-life odyssey—from comfort to chaos, and from despair back to purpose. It’s not just a story of immigration; it’s a powerful testimony of faith under fire, resilience against the odds, and the quiet grace that carried one man across borders both seen and unseen.

The Longest Journey is a raw, inspiring memoir of a Lagos banker whose pursuit of the American dream leads to loss, betrayal, and hardship but also reveals resilience, faith, and the power of divine providence
